About a month ago, MMAPayout detailed some of Strikeforce’s big plans for the fall, that not only included a big October show, but the release of EA Sports MMA, a new branding strategy, and also the release of their 2 disc DVD set scheduled for October 12.
Payout Perspective:
Strikeforce fans who have been patiently wondering when Strikeforce would be releasing their fights to fans on some form of media will soon get their opportunity. Amazon.com, Walrmat, BestBuy and other retailers are now accepting pre-orders for and upcoming 2 disc DVD release titled “Strikeforce MMA”, at the moment starring Alistair Overeem, Fedor Emelienenko, Robbie Lawler, Brett Rogers, Andrei Arlovski, and “Babalu” Sobral will contain 6 hours of content produced by Showtime Entertainment. The listing price will be around $20-25 dollars and will be releasing on October 12, just a few days after the October 9th San Jose event. Interesting to note that Jake Shields was set to be featured in the DVD release before he signed to the UFC, so it will be interesting to see how much, if any, focus is placed on him.
Brand new Strikeforce logo anyone?
Middle Easy had something on it a little while ago and this looks like proof.
Rich:
I found out about it a month ago, and proof was in the EA Sports MMA video game trailers which include it, since they will be releasing the game next month.
Here you go (should point out nothing is official yet):

You can also find the more modern Strikeforce logo on the Diaz vs Noons II Poster:
